Lady Die, that's so disgusting. ;-) Seriously I think it's classic. Love is mucho cool. Unless it's rubbing the crutch of your partner in front of me. Get OUTA here.

― nathalie (nathalie), Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

My band made a album called NO KISSING IN PUBLIC. So, you know.

― duane, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Also of course I get sick when people use cute slang contractions like "PDAs", that's obviously worse than actually doing that stuff.
Yeah I'm a rebel, a loner! Like Pee Wee Herman!

― duane, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

no shit duane.

i don't like het couples PDAing. it stinks of "look at us and our heterosexual priviledge". however, if it was socially acceptable for gay couples to PDA, I'd say gross to that too. its just so vulgar.

the only time it is acceptable to PDA is if you are picking someone up, but my rules say that if you do PDA you must leave the bar immediately. otherwise i'll kick your arse.

― lady die, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

duane--i meant no shit about "no kissing in public", but i guess that it could be extended to "i'm like peewee herman" too if you wanted.

― lady die, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

It's okay by me as long as NOISE does not feature and the PDA is not too lengthy. Otherwise I have been known to tell the happy couple to GET A FUCKING ROOM.

― suzy, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Do you notice that it's only really ugly people who carry on this way? Especially really ugly women, they hang onto their partners for dear life. I can sort of understand this, but I wish they would stop. Especially if it's a really ugly woman who I'm trying to get rid of after breakfast.

― dave q, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Well, ugly folks making slurpy noises is one of my prime phobias but in my circle of friends the biggest PDA offenders are actually gorgeous Tim and his lovely wife Josie. It's hard to spend time with them due to constant face-sucking. If told to get a room, they will.

― suzy, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Only acceptable after 10:30 pm and in slightly darkened premises.

― Emma, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

A FUCKING ROOM.
Has anyone ever visited those Soap Lands in Japan? They are my new obsession. I'm pondering going on a tour and writing a Soap Land guide book.

― nathalie (nathalie), Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I love it. But then I'm a voyeur.

― Tom, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

If I'm involved in it: fucking classic.

If I'm not involved in it: disgusting.

And quite frankly I think that's how everyone feels deep down. Though even when I'm involved in it, it can be a bit much at times - I mean, you're sitting in O'Hurley's talking to your friends, and your boyfriend just kind of throws you down drunkenly on the bench - I mean, hello, no.

― Ally, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

it makes me want 2 puke on their ugly heads. public knife fights or brawls would b better, but i don't get 2 see many of those.

― junichiro, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Public domestic brawls are classic, but I hate always missing the beginning of them. I wish it was publicly acceptable to walk up to the battling couple, ask them what the fight's about and who's to blame, then say "OK carry on" and watch them go.

― dave q, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I've been involved in loads of public domestic quarrels, probably far more than I have PDAs. I actually had a outsider guy tell me to go take a Prozac once and I went off on him too and it was this crazy threesome fight, it was great because the outsider guy eventually took my side once he heard how the fight started.

― Ally, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

watching other ppl, apart from yr parents, fight - fucking funny...watching them, including yr folks, make up afterwards...way fucking disgusting.

― Geoff, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

What about a hem hem public display of affection ON A BUS, eh?

― Tom, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Clearly classic, unless one of the participants says no. Everyone needs at least one John-Hughes-coming-of-age moment.

― Dan Perry, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

What about on a subway, Risky Business-style?!?!?!

― Ally, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

With Phil Collins as the soundtrack! Whooh, I'm there.

Ally, you have mentioned Risky Business at least three times on ILE. Is it some kind of personal obsession?

― Nick, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

risky business=great film

gareth=not answering this question ok?

― gareth, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Why are you counting the number of times I reference Risky Business?

― Ally, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm not. I just noticed you talking about your roommate (friend?) having such high standards that she even dissed men who look like Tom Cruise in Risky Business. Then noticed that you made exactly the same point, with the same example, a couple of weeks later, as if your seemingly intelligent mind had just blipped and failed the Turing test. And then up popped Risky Business again and I thought I'd mention it. I am not a stalker.

― Nick, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

No, the reason I keep bringing up the Tom Cruise in Risky Business thing is because I have a very specific semi-ex of hers in mind who does look like Tom Cruise in Risky Business. I've only seen this film once, it's not an obsession, it's just that he happens to look a lot like this guy, so whenever I talk about how crazy she is about her standards, I point it out cos it makes no sense.

― Ally, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Oh, I thought you were holding up Tom Cruise in Risky Business as the apex of the male form.

― Nick, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Oh, good god no. Merely that he's someone generally found good looking (indeed, People magazine keeps insisting he's the sexiest man alive for some reason) and that my friend rejected a man who resembled him as a youngster on the basis that he was "deformed". That's all, I swear.

― Ally, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I still live in a city which has its homophobic pockets. I hold hands with David, kiss him, hug him etc not only because i love him and it is pleasent but because i want to tell people that we are queer and we will not hide

― anthony, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Displays of affection which don't involve groping or tongues are great. Sloppy kissing, butt-kneading, titty-twisting, crotch- cupping, and butt-pinching are all absolutely intolerable. (Caveat: If I am ever at a wedding where the groom elects to grab the bride's chest rather than kiss her at the end of the ceremony, I will declare it the Best Ceremony Ever.)

― Dan Perry, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Refraining from PDAs in public is not "hiding", it's just being considerate of other people who may not want that kind of thing in their face. And doing it just to draw attention to the fact that you're "queer" is obnoxious.

― Sean, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

We are not doing it to indicate we are queer. We are doing it to indicate that we have the right to express our love as much as the straight couple. We are sowing our affection. Being in love is wonderful . Anyway we aint fucking on the street. We are holding hands . Or giving each other the occasional kiss.

― anthony, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Dope, guns, and FUCKING IN THE STREETS!

― dave q, Friday, 3 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

one year passes...

Has anyone on ILE actually succeeded in introducing firearms into their lovemaking?

― N. (nickdastoor), Monday, 7 July 2003 21:58 (twenty-two years ago)

no, but I did make out at great length on the subway once. that was...interesting.

― M Matos (M Matos), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 04:32 (twenty-two years ago)

i think i *almost* got to firearms....

― Orbit (Orbit), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 04:33 (twenty-two years ago)

*sings*

"subway she is a porno..."

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 04:33 (twenty-two years ago)

(it was also really really fun!)

― M Matos (M Matos), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 04:34 (twenty-two years ago)

was Tangerine Dream playing in the background?

― oops (Oops), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 04:35 (twenty-two years ago)

They probably were actually on the train, what the hell else do they have to do?

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 04:39 (twenty-two years ago)

they were who I made out with, oops! me and a buncha Moog-mangling German dudes with bellbottoms on! it was GREAT!

― M Matos (M Matos), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 04:40 (twenty-two years ago)

i read a book of sm queer erotica that featured gunplay, but the gun was made so it was impossible to shoot.

― anthony easton (anthony), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 04:41 (twenty-two years ago)

I won a smut-writing competition with a particularly debauched scene featuring a gun... It climaxed (literally) with an Elvis-style shooting of a television.

― kate (kate), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 07:52 (twenty-two years ago)

everytime I watch Donnie Darko with my sisters I shout "PDA! PDA!" at the kissing scene

― James Blount (James Blount), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 08:06 (twenty-two years ago)

How odd.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 08:15 (twenty-two years ago)

I won a smut-writing competition with a particularly debauched scene featuring a gun...

Muhahahahaha.
gross gross gross to this day!

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 13:21 (twenty-two years ago)

"Hey, Ma, I just shot the cat!"

― kate (kate), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 13:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Still one of the best band names ever!

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 14:05 (twenty-two years ago)

My reaction to other people's PDA is dependent upon my current mood-settings. Like...

occasional-bitter-anti-lovey-mode = "GOD YOU PEOPLE NEED TO DIE URG!"

typical-mellow-likes-the-world-mode = "aaaaawwwwwwwwww, lovely love!"

As for PDA I myself is involved in (which so far has stayed limited to the bottom end on the drrtyometer) but fuckin-A if we've got something going let's celebrate that shit!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 14:56 (twenty-two years ago)

classic or dud - when your partner is more inclined to PDA than private displays of affection?

as i discovered, a classic sign the relationship is kaput.

― Chris Radford (Chris Radford), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 15:00 (twenty-two years ago)

four months pass...

I totally remember this happening, holy shit! That was on a PATH train! Wow.

Anyway in retrospect Dastoor was right, I totally do have an obsession with having sex on subways. PDA classic goddamnit.

― Allyzay, Thursday, 4 December 2003 17:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Horrible. Should be punished by firing squad.

― bnw (bnw), Thursday, 4 December 2003 18:04 (twenty-two years ago)

I like the middle of the sidewalk myself. But yeah, bnw otm.

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Thursday, 4 December 2003 18:05 (twenty-two years ago)

*mwah! mwah! mwah!*

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 4 December 2003 18:07 (twenty-two years ago)

bnw's just jealous that I made out with rosemary but not him in public.

― Allyzay, Thursday, 4 December 2003 18:10 (twenty-two years ago)

four years pass...

Two young junkies making out in front of me in the bagel place while I'm trying to eat my extremely moist egg-and-veggie wrap. YUK

― Hurting 2, Tuesday, 1 July 2008 16:17 (seventeen years ago)

Yeah, that wrap sounds vile.

― HI DERE, Tuesday, 1 July 2008 16:17 (seventeen years ago)

how did you know they were junkies?

― Surmounter, Tuesday, 1 July 2008 16:18 (seventeen years ago)

extremely moist egg-and-veggie wrap

hmmmmmm. . .how moist was the wrap????

― Mr. Que, Tuesday, 1 July 2008 16:18 (seventeen years ago)

Most horrible soul-churning D ever if you've recently been dumped. Extra face-chewing couples seem to be drafted in, just to taunt you, from some magical land of love to which you will never again be allowed access.

― chap, Tuesday, 1 July 2008 16:21 (seventeen years ago)

The wrap really was vile, but it was not helped by the moist leg wrap at the next table.

― Hurting 2, Tuesday, 1 July 2008 16:25 (seventeen years ago)
